Seiyashi 4,098 Posted February 9 (edited) Is this the first time we've seen BTS for the promotion ceremonies? Certainly a very enjoyable video. Edited February 9 by Seiyashi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,622 Posted February 16 (edited) On 05/02/2025 at 12:57, Akinomaki said: Hoshoryu on the 16th will have a yusho parade in Kashiwa, where he went to high school and which he says is his hometown in Japan. Not by car, with jin-rikisha, from Kashiwa station West entrance at 13:30h 220m, then to the East entrance, at 14:30h 440m from there, and then flowers from the mayor. In case of bad weather it will be cancelled. The roads were filled with about 25 000 spectators - one had to line up in the morning to have a good look. o o o o o oo oo oo - we can't expect him to yusho after all the promotion events, but it seems more moderate than for other recent cases. He will try to justify his promotion, so I expect a good result the sumo channel already has 4 videos and a playlist 70 city staff members, 80 policemen - one false announce as yokozuna Asashoryu Edited February 16 by Akinomaki 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 3,865 Posted February 18 My God, I'm stunned by the size and density of the crowds! It reminds me of videos of kami being hustled through town in portable shrines. A very impressive parade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,622 Posted February 25 Press conference of the new yokozuna on banzuke day Every day, articles about the hinkaku comments from the YDC keep appearing, mostly outraged about the one from Tokura. Another member just emphasised the importance of hinkaku, without derogative additions. Tabloid articles mostly get in this direction, some expect difficulties for the new yokozuna, some think he'll do fine, e.g. today from Friday "No need for heel yokozuna any-more" o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunbaiHolder 32 Posted Wednesday at 06:56 Very late to the party here, but I still cannot believe (in a good way) that Hoshoryu is the new Yokozuna. I have been following sumo for only 3 years, but I have had always fun watching his matches. Godspeed to him! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He speculates that it was caused by Hoshoryu breaking his arm a long time ago, having fallen off a horse Now it's been reported that he hurt his elbow in the playoff matches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rooting for Hoshoryu that was a frustrating match to watch even without him getting hurt in it. Why is he still trying to throw Atamifuji?! It doesn't work, the kid is too big and too inert.
